So it would be interesting to see if maybe coastal populations are more likely to carry the genetic variation that enables this behavior. Although there are actually skeletons that have been found in various parts of the world near river systems that also suggest that those people have been diving. So maybe it's just being near water anywhere in the world.

It seems to be that way, yeah, all over the world.

Yeah. So, you know, speaking of older divers, there's a group in Korea on an island called Jeju. These are all female divers. They're called the henyo, which just means sea women. And the average age of the henyo currently is around 70 years old. So that's when I think of robustness with age, I think of the henyo.

But this all-female diving population has likely been diving in that region for thousands of years.
